In our brick and mortar shop in San Francisco we often see full busted women who, after a fleeting look around the store announce unhappily, "This is all so cute, but I bet you have nothing here in my size!" They must be used to the disappointing range of sizes available in some of the mainstream lingerie stores and it makes our day to defy their assumptions by quickly prompting them over to the several styles we do carry in a wide range of cup sizes. One of the most popular of thes [...]

The Skinny on the Longline Bra

emetens@gmail.com — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0100

The longline is a classic bra style which first gained popularity in the late 30s. As changes took place in fashion, bras evolved from the gossamer nothings worn by the flappers to more supportive and structurally complex designs. In contrast to the straight garcon lines of the 20s, the typical 30s silhouette was much more tailored and fit to the curves of a woman's body. The new styles in outerwear dictated corresponding changes in foundations and women began to expect more support and shapi [...]

Sweater Girl Secrets

admin@dollhousebettie.com — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0100

The bullet bra is a vintage hallmark. It defined the silhouette of an era and represents a golden moment in American fashion when exaggerated femininity reigned supreme and breasts defied the laws of gravity.

It is difficult to trace the exact origins of the bullet bra but we do know it appeared on the scene sometime in the middle to late 30s - confirmed by photos published during the decade. After a generation of women had attempted to compress their chest, striving for the svelte flap [...]

Mary Phelps Jacob, Bra Pioneer

admin@dollhousebettie.com — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:00:00 +0100

For the modern woman a bra is an everyday item. Like brushing our teeth or putting on shoes, wearing a bra is a regular part of most women's standard routine that requires little effort and even less thought. This was not always the case. Before the invention of the bra women wore complex corsets and bust supporters that required stiff boning and intense lacing to deliver substantial support. However, all that changed in 1914 when New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob, with the help of her mai [...]

Maidenform: Mother of the Modern Bra

admin@dollhousebettie.com — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Maidenform is a classic American lingerie company and after 80 years in the business they have built up quite a legacy. The significant innovations to bra construction discovered and implemented by the company's founders transformed the history of the brassiere and gave birth to modern bras as we know them.

In 1920 while working with Enid Bisset at the Enid Frocks dress shop in New York City, Ida Rosenthal, a Jewish immigrant from Russia, designed the forerunner of the modern [...]
